Unveiling the Tamiya 42138 TRF416: A Racing Legend Reimagined
The Tamiya 42138 TRF416 World Edition is a testament to Tamiya's commitment to excellence in the realm of competitive RC racing. This 1/10 scale 4WD chassis kit has been meticulously engineered to deliver unparalleled performance on the track. Known for its impressive achievements in the Euro Touring Series, where it consistently secured podium finishes, the TRF416 continues to evolve with enhancements that cater to the demands of serious RC racers.
Engineering Advancements for Superior Performance
Building on its successful legacy, the TRF416 chassis now boasts several critical updates aimed at refining its balance and handling. The carbon lower deck maintains its robust thickness while featuring a new battery position, optimizing weight distribution. Meanwhile, the integrated carbon upper deck and rear upper brace enhance flexibility, allowing for more responsive handling during high-speed maneuvers.
The redesigned motor mount is another highlight, providing solid support for high-spec motors, which is crucial for maintaining power and control. Additionally, the large urethane bumper has been designed to minimize the gap between the chassis and body, offering better protection and reducing wear during collisions. For those using smaller chassis vehicles, customization of the bumper size is necessary.
Precision Components for Enhanced Control
The TRF416 is equipped with new front and rear drive belts, contributing to smoother power delivery and improved drivetrain efficiency. Short reversible suspension arms paired with reversed suspension mounts provide greater adjustability, catering to various track conditions and driving styles. The inclusion of Teflon-sealed ball bearings ensures reduced friction and increased durability, while high-lubrication dampers offer superior shock absorption.
